Sponsoring
This year’s Conference offers a very limited number of opportunities for firms to present their company’s technology products and services to the apartment industry’s most select group of decision-making executives (CEOs, Vice Presidents, Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers and IT Directors). As this is the apartment industry’s only comprehensive technology conference, each of these professionals attends with the specific goal of receiving high-quality education, researching products and services, and networking with strategic partners and vendors. For many, this is the only time during the year they will focus specifically on evaluating technology-related products and services for their companies.
Sponsorship Benefits
In addition to sponsorship opportunities, sponsors receive the following additional benefits:
- Exposure to more than 700 attendees at the Conference
- List of Conference attendees that is mail-merge ready
- Recognition during the opening General Session and listing in Conference materials, brochures, web sites (NMHC and Multihousing.com), program, CD-ROM (based on receipt of sponsorship request and printing deadlines).
- Logo displayed for major sponsors throughout the Conference
- Gratis registrations – major sponsors ($10,000 and above) receive two (2) complimentary registrations.
- General sponsors ($5,000–$10,000) receive one (1) complimentary registration.
Sponsorship by companies with apartment technologies and services are an integral part of the success to this annual event. Such sponsorship permits us the ability to limit participation and attendance to the industry’s cream-of-the-crop executives and companies, maintaining a high acuity on quality education. The companies and executives responsible for the industry’s fivebillion- dollar purchase and management of technologies and services recognize and appreciate the value of sponsor participation in a way not found at many other events. They understand and appreciate the significance of a sponsor’s contribution toward allowing the low-key, low-pressure atmosphere that is a hallmark of NMHC and Multihousing.com events.
